Unlike a lot of people with so much to say on this subject, I'm not talking out of my ass. I pay a lot more than $10/hr. (The government pays no part of their wage) I am white. I treat every employee I have (white / non-white / male / female) with respect, fair treatment, good pay and have never laid anyone off, even when economics might justify it.
What do I usually receive in return from most of the young white males I have hired over the last several years? Belly aching, sloth, indifference, arriving at work drunk or stoned, sloppy work and absenteeism. These are not my opinions, they are my experiences. Perhaps one in ten young white males last a full year.
What have I found with all the immigrants I have hired? A strong work ethic, a desire to get along with my outstandingly loyal and hard working long term employees. They are on time, sober, ready to work.
I get fed up to the nuts with people spouting such nonsense about immigrants to this country. Where do you suppose the labour is going to come from to keep Canadian businesses running? Who is going to contribute to the pension plans and other social services we all expect to use when we retire? Even discounting my empirical problems with NATIVE BORN not NATIVE Canadians, there are not enough people being born in this country to replace the existing work force.
